G <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> October 29,2007 <br /> APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: <br /> Public Hearing—Mashpee Christmas Parade: (continued) <br /> In an effort to alleviate public concern for safety during the evening <br /> parade traversing Route 28,the Selectmen requested assurance that safety <br /> aspects would be adequately addressed by the applicant and Police <br /> Department. Chief Collins discussed safety concerns. It was also noted <br /> the parade has trained volunteers to march with floats for safety purposes <br /> along the parade route. All floats are also required to display lighting. <br /> As an alternative to promote safety and deter traffic,the Selectmen and <br /> Chief of Police agreed that additional Route 28 traffic would be diverted <br /> to Commercial Street, Mercantile Street and to Great Neck Road North. <br /> Advance communication through the media and signage would alert the <br /> public of the parade route to be held on December 8,h. <br /> It was noted that a night-time parade was considered by the committee this <br /> year as a way to promote additional family time at the Commons with the <br /> added excitement of Christmas lights. <br /> Being no comment,the Board motioned to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Taylor. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to approve the application of <br /> the Special Events Committee for the 2nd Annual Mashpce Christmas <br /> Parade on Saturday,December 8,2007 at 6:00 p.m. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Green. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br />
